P: Hey guys, so I'm here with Matt Smith
C: Hey guys......
P: Can you guess who it is? Maybe from this hair it might be a clue...
P: IT'S CARRIE!
C: Hello!
P: So Carrie is a professional singer, would you say that's right?
C: Yes
P: The right term? Songstress?
C: I like that :)
P: I was wondering if you'd give me some singing lessons?
C: I can do that.
P: Because I sing in the shower a lot
P: And I think it's ready to go to the NEXT LEVEL!
C: Sounds good!
P: Are we gonna be X-Factor ready by the end of this video?
C: Completely!
P: If you want singing lessons yourself, you should play along at home
C: Step 1
C: Breathing exercises!
C: Put your thumb, like, where your rib cage is..
P: Do I have to press until I bleed?
C: Definitely not.
C: And then go..
C: Hvvvvv hvvvv hvvv hvvv hvvv
P: Hvvvvv hvvvv hvvv
P: [Laughs]
P: What is that achieving? Are you trolling me?!
C: You know you're breathing correctly when your thumb pushes out a little bit..
P: Hvvv Hvvvv
P:It's like a little baby. Feel the baby. Hvvv hvvv.
C: Yeah, exactly like that. A little baby kicking.
P: So if you have a baby inside you then you're doing it right? C: Yes.
C: Sort of. Drop your shoulders and like make your neck quite long.
C: and then put your hands like there P: I thought-
P: [laughing] How low am I going, Carrie? C: [laughing] All the way down there. And then do the same thing like
Both: Hvvv hvvv hvvv hvvv
C: And it should like push out. P: My tummy is pushing out, yes
P: The baby's getting bigger. C: Yeah, it's like 9 months worth of growth P: And then the third stage is birth
C: Yeah, then go on stage, and you sing like that.
P: I thought so, okay all right. So breathing is done. C: Step two: mouth exercises.
As demonstrated here.
Your tongue comes into play a lot [with] your singing like if you stretch out your tongue. It looks really really weird, but like
[INTENSE TONGUE STRETCHING]
P: Why are we doing this? C: If you don't stretch out your tongue properly you lose a lot of diction. P: Okay, so we're tongue stretching.
That's the technical term for it. What about?
C: I've never done that in my lessons, maybe- I'm sure she does.
Step Three;
'Voice Exercises'
P: oOoOoh
Was that- that was one! I did it before you even started!
C: My singing teacher makes me go "ging ging ging ging geEeEeeeh"
P: That sound ridiculous!
P: [a bit off pitch] ging ging ging ging geEeEeeeh
That was terrible! [no it wasn't sunshine] C: [laughing]
P: *deep voice* GING
What if i like- Woah! Where did that come from!?
C: *deep voice* GING
P: GING
P: I think there's different levels of singing them, aren't there? Baritone. C: Yes. P: I think I'm baritone. C:You gotta be a baritone P: *deep voice* gING GING GING GING GeEeEeeeeh
C: That was perfect! P:Could I be an opera singer? C:You could totally be. P: that's my dream. So, what is the highest note you can do?
C: [really high-pitched note] [Damn, Carrie, back at it again with the high notes.. *Shane Dawson voice* i'll go home]
P: Woah! That was loud!
P: [fairly high note]
P: That's as high as I can go. That's pretty good for a boy. C: That's pretty good for a guy. Step four: singing. P: I'm scared.
P: When Beyonce goes "eeEEEeEeEe"
Could you teach me to do that? C: YoOoOuUu
P: [a bit off pitch] yoOoUu- [laughing]
P: Wait- [better] YoOoOuUu
C: You're getting there. Yooouuuu
P: [almost perfect] Yooouuuu
P: That was good, that was a good one! C: There you go, that's pretty good!
C: Rock your booooody now
P: Rock your bo- [laughing]
Both: [laughing] P: wait
P: I'm gonna laugh now C: [unintelligible]
P: [better] Rock your boooody
P: Was that good? C: Pretty much, yeah P: Was I channeling the Backstreet Boys? C: You were
P: I want to be in one direction. What do I do? I put my hood up to be cool.
They don't really do that do they? C: Well, you could just be their missing member, okay? P: I'm the missing member of One direction
I've got my attitude C: Yeah
P: [laughing] That's not attitude, is it
C: It's more like, genie. How's it go?
P: [singin] you better light up your [?] just like... Both: [laughing]
P: I say that so much I forgot what the actual lyrics are. We were talking about this in my liveshow, Britney Spears always sounds sexual.
C: Yes P: When she goes "baby, can't you see" I can't do it. C: Oh, it's kind of breathy P: Baby- C: Baby, can't you see?
C: Think it's more sort of like you've got to think sexual. P: Okay, wait. I'm thinking sexual. C: Baby can't you see? P: [better] Baby can't you see?
FAIL
P: This is the final exam, you have to choose it for me.
C: I think we should stick with Britney and do Hit Me Baby One More Time. P: Together? C: Together. P: okay
